Your new high-definition widescreen television has many special features that make it the perfect center of your home entertainment system, including:
1080p High-Definition LCD Display System
Easy Connect Auto Input Sensing
Easy Connect™ Auto Input Sensing automatically recognizes when you plug in a device and prompts you to assign a name to it.
Your Mitsubishi LCD Flat Panel HDTV uses a full 1920 x 1080 LCD panel to create the picture you see on the
screen. All images are displayed at 1080p. The TV uses new Plush 1080p® 5G digital video processing to convert lower-resolution signals to 1080p for display.
Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion
Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion makes fast-moving images appear smoother and more fluid, free from motion blur. It does this by doubling the traditional progressive scan frame rate and creates new frames of video between the traditional frames to create smoother moving images. Smooth120Hz™ Film Motion also smooths film judder (image vibration) that may be present in film-based content such as movies.
16:9 Widescreen Picture Format
Enjoy a full theatrical experience in the comfort of your home. View pictures as film directors intended them. Digital TV broadcasts, DVDs and newer video game consoles support this widescreen format.
Integrated HDTV Tuner
Your widescreen Mitsubishi HDTV has an internal HDTV tuner able to receive both over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (received via an antenna) and non-scrambled digital cable broadcasts, including non-scrambled HDTV cable programming.
High-Definition Video Inputs
•Component Video Inputs. Also called Y/Pb/Pr inputs, these inputs receive standard analog video formats of 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i high-defini- tion signals. This provides a high level of flexibility when connecting DVD players/recorders, cable boxes, and satellite receivers.
•HDMI Inputs. These inputs accept digital 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video signals plus bitstream and PCM digital stereo signals. The HDMI™ inputs can also accept a variety of PC signals and resolutions. These inputs support HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (up to 36 bits) and the x.v.Color extended color gamut.
Used with an adapter, these inputs also accept compatible digital DVI video signals. HDMI inputs provide additional high-performance, high-definition connections for maximum flexibility
in your choice of home theater products. The HDMI inputs are HDCP copy-protection compatible.

Home-Theater Control
HDMI Control
Available for all models. HDMI devices with Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capabilities may be compatible with the TV’s HDMI Control feature. Compatible devices can receive control signals through the HDMI connection, allowing the TV’s remote control to operate some functions of these devices.
NetCommand with IR Learning
153 and 249 Series. Your Mitsubishi HDTV offers a new level of networking that seamlessly integrates selected older A/V products with new and future digital products. NetCommand® supports IR (infrared) control of products such as VCRs, DVD players, cable boxes, and satel-
lite receivers. NetCommand can “learn” remote control signals directly from many devices, allowing you to create a customized NetCommand-controlled home-theater system.
Sound Projector
Sound Projector technology uses the TV’s bank of speakers to create a simulated surround sound effect by reflecting sound off the room walls.
Internet Video Streaming with VUDU™
249 Series. VUDU offers the largest on-demand HD movie selection anywhere, featuring full 1080p and 5.1 surround sound. VUDU allows you to enjoy movies with no store visits, no mailing, no late fees and no subscriptions.

Inputs and Outputs, continued
1. ANT (Antenna)
Connect your main antenna or direct cable service (no cable box) to ANT. The ANT input can receive digital and analog over-the-air channels from a VHF/UHF antenna or non-scrambled digital/analog cable source.
2. HDMI™ Inputs (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
The HDMI inputs support uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video formats, PCM digital stereo audio, and digital 5.1 surround sound. These inputs are HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) compliant.
Mitsubishi recommends you use category 2 HDMI cables, also called high-speed HDMI cables, to connect HDMI 1.3 source devices. High-speed category 2 cables bring you the full benefits of Deep Color and x.v.Color.
The TV’s HDMI inputs are compatible with many DVI-D and HDMI computer video signals.
Use the HDMI inputs to connect to CEA-861 HDMI compliant devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player. These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video formats.
These HDMI inputs can also accept digital DVI video signals. To connect a device’s DVI output to the TV’s HDMI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable plus analog audio cables. Connect the analog audio cables to the DVI/PC INPUT AUDIO jacks on the TV to receive left and right stereo audio from your DVI device.

2. TV Connections |
23 |
Most setups require either a digital audio cable or analog stereo audio cables. To send audio from TV channels received on the ANT input or devices connected directly to the TV, you must use one of the connections shown below. Usually, only one of these connections is required.
The TV makes all audio available in digital and analog formats:
•Analog audio coming into the TV is available as output in digital stereo format on the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.
•Digital incoming audio is available as analog output on the AVR AUDIO OUTPUT L and R jacks.

Stereo analog cables (for an analog A/V receiver)
or
Digital coaxial cable (for a digita A/V receiver)

INPUT
A/V receiver back panel
Note:
•On rare occasions, an HDMI signal may be copy-restricted and cannot be output from the TV as a digital signal. To hear these copyprotected signals through the A/V receiver, use the connection for an analog A/V receiver.
•Check the A/V receiver’s Owner’s Guide for information concerning use of the digital input and switching between digital sound and analog stereo sound from the TV.
Required: One HDMI-to-HDMI cable
This option allows you to view content from devices connected to an A/V receiver over a single HDMI cable going to the TV. The HDMI cable can transmit both audio and video to the TV.
You can use an HDMI connection as described here in addition to an audio connection from the TV’s audio output. The optional audio connection allows you to hear, through the A/V receiver, devices connected to the TV only, e.g., an antenna on the ANT input.
You may be able to use the TV’s remote control (in TV mode) to operate connected CEC-enabled HDMI
devices. Experiment with your equipment to determine which functions are available to the TV’s remote control. See Appendix B, page 75.
153 and 249 Series: This setup allows you to use NetCommand-controlled audio and video switching over the HDMI cable. See “Case 3: Automatic Audio and Video Switching via HDMI” on page 65.
To use NetCommand to supplement HDMI control of a CEC-enabled A/V receiver, note the recommendations under “More About Using an HDMI Connection,” page 65.

This is a 16:9 widescreen TV suitable for images available from HDTV and many DVDs. You can view older-style, squarish images (4:3 aspect ratio) using one of the display formats described on this page. Press the MORE key and then the
0 key (FORMAT) to cycle through available display formats. The TV remembers the format you last used for each input.
DVD Image Definitions
Image information may be stated on the DVD case. Some DVDs support both formats described below.
Anamorphic (or Enhanced for WideScreen TV). Indicates DVDs recorded to show widescreen images properly on 16:9 TV sets using the TV’s Standard format mode (recommended).
Non-Anamorphic (or 4:3, 1.33:1, Letter Box, or Full Screen). Indicates DVDs recorded for viewing on squarish TV screens. They may be full screen (4:3 or 1.33:1) which crops movies to fit the narrow TV, or letter box, which adds black top and bottom bars.
Signal Definitions
480i: Older type of interlaced signals from the ANT input, composite VIDEO, component Y Pb Pr, or HDMI jacks.
480p: Progressive-scan DVD signals on component Y Pb Pr or HDMI jacks.
720p and 1080i: High-definition signals received through component Y Pb Pr or HDMI jacks. These signals are always 16:9 (widescreen).
